Dr. Zeus

Middle School meets Percy Jackson in this new offering from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson, where Greek gods task an ordinary twelve-year-old with a big mission.

Dr. Zeus, the over-the-top king of the gods, zooms into town with a quest that Nick must complete to save Andinos past and present from being erased from history. Accompanied by a fast-talking Hermes, Nick journeys back to ancient Greece, where his ancestors await—along with new friends and a whole host of Greek gods and monsters. Can Nick be the hero the Andinos need, or will his story be another Greek tragedy?
